Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform reception on recording paper of desired size and to save the recording paper by attaching a function to record a picture signal of compressed size on the recording paper of desired size when the picture signal transmitted by a server is received. CONSTITUTION:A compression request signal 13 to instruct compression is outputted to a compression signal circuit 5 by depressing a designated operating switch to compress a transmission original and to receive and record it by the operating part 1 of facsimile equipment. Also, a communication control part 4 outputs a transmission original size signal 12 whose transmission original size is identified by a digital instruction signal DCS from a transmission side defined by an inputted CCITT recommendation T30 from a line 2 to the signal circuit 5 via a network control part 3. And the signal circuit 5 outputs a compression ratio to a thinning circuit 6 by the signal 13 of the operating part 1 based on the designated size of the recording paper to be used at a reception recording part 7 and the size signal 12 from the control part 4. Also, a compression signal 14 is inputted from the signal circuit 5 to a circuit 6 by paper exhaustion information 13a from the recording part 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine in which a plurality of recording sheets of different sizes are loaded and selected for use.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional facsimile machines have a plurality of different sizes of 84,
A recording paper of A4.85 size or the like was loaded, and a recording paper of a size corresponding to the transmitted document set in the transmitting device detected during the reception communication control procedure was selected and printed out.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional facsimile machine described above uses a communication procedure to notify the sending side of a change in reception capability (recording paper size) and reduce the size of the recording paper to another paper when the largest recording paper being received runs out. The disadvantage is that communication is interrupted because there is no .

In addition, since the receiving side does not have a reduction function, it is not possible to reduce the size of the recording paper being used and reduce the size when receiving data in a reduced size. It also has the drawback of being inflexible, such as not being able to record sizes according to the size of the computer.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes: a reception recording section that outputs information about loaded storage paper of various sizes; and an operation section that outputs a reduction request signal in response to an operation input specifying reduction.
a communication control unit that outputs a transmission document size signal identified during a transmission control procedure; a reduction signal circuit that outputs a reduction value signal indicating a reduction ratio based on the recording paper information, the reduction request signal, and the transmission document size signal; and a thinning circuit that outputs a signal obtained by thinning the image signal according to the reduced value signal to the reception recording section.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The operation unit 1 outputs a reduction request signal 13 instructing reduction to the reduction signal circuit 5 when the operator presses a designated operation switch to reduce and record the transmitted document.

The communication control unit 4 receives input CCITT recommendation T30. from the line 2 via the network control unit 3. The transmission document size (B5.
A4. A transmission document size signal 12 that identifies the size of the document (B4, etc.) is output to the reduction signal circuit 5.

The reduction signal circuit 5 outputs a reduction ratio to the thinning circuit 6 based on the specified recording paper size used in the reception recording section 7 according to the reduction request signal 13 from the operation section 1 and the transmission original size signal 12 from the communication control section 4. do.

In addition, for example, B
When the 4-size paper runs out, the thinning circuit 6 sets the reduction ratio to record the image signal from the 84-size original on A4-size paper.
Output to.

If the transmission document size signal 12 is B4 size and the designated recording paper size is A4, the reduction signal circuit 5 outputs a reduction value signal 14 for reducing the B4 size to A4 size to the thinning circuit 6. The thinning circuit 6 outputs the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction of the facsimile image signal 11 to the thinning receiving and recording section 7 according to the reduction algorithm from B4 to A4 according to the reduction ratio instructed by the reduction value signal 14, and outputs it to the thinning reception recording unit 7 according to the reduction algorithm from B4 to A4. can be printed and output.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has a function to reduce and record onto recording paper of a specified size when receiving an image signal transmitted by the operator's operation. This has the effect of saving recording paper.
